NAACP denounces 'flat out racist' remarks by GOP Sen. Tommy Tuberville

Fresno CA

Description

Leaders of major civil rights organizations on Monday condemned Sen. Tommy Tuberville, R-Ala., for suggesting at a Trump rally over the weekend that descendants of Black slaves are criminals in remarks about reparations. Johnson, who noted that the far-right has pushed such racist theories, added, "Next time the Senator wants to talk about crime, he should talk about Donald Trump’s hate-fueled rally on January 6, 2021, and the attacks that followed. Perhaps the real criminals are in his orbit." "They want crime. They want crime because they want to take over what you got. They want to control what you have," Tuberville told the crowd. "They want reparation because they think the people that do the crime are owed that. Bullshit. They are not owed that." (Say it ain't so! Another bigoted republican? Trump must be proud.)
